The Moonlight Princess In The Land of the Sun Day
Episode 8 A bright afternoon

　On a glittering and vulgar golden throne, Milan sat with legs crossed, with an evil smile. In his hand was a coarse chain, far from hobby furniture that tended to hang on to the gold around him. Following the chain like a dog reed, an iron collar was attached, wrapped around Selene's delicate neck.

"What are you doing? Come here early and kneel down, the foolish figure of Guzume"

"……Yes.Yes"

　Selene glared at Milan with a glance. Selene today is forced to wear prostitute-like clothes rather than servant clothes with open skin, and is treated like a slave. Rebellion is not allowed.

"A very rebellious look. Who saved you from the cage? Answer."

"... Milan ... same. Thank you." Thank you."

　Selene trembled as she was forced to spit out embarrassing words of gratitude. I didn't get this status because I liked it. Seeming to be enjoying Selene's reaction, who hated her, Milan grabbed the table next to the throne and picked up a cup of tea. Then he tilted the cup and smashed it at his feet, on the stain-free carpet purchased by the national blood tax, without hesitation.

"Ups, the floor is dirty. You have to clean it."

　Milan happily distorted his mouth and pulled his chain lightly. With that alone, the petite Selene lost her posture and buried her face in the stained carpet.

"Come on, let you lick that carpet. If you don't like it, you don't have to do it separately? Then, I'll let your brother do it. Ha ha ha ha!!"

　　◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Propapital"

　Selene whispers a curse against the prince of the delusional world. He didn't seem to realize that he was the lowest species that had such a delusion. It has been three days since we left for the Helifalte Kingdom. In the carriage, Selene flapped her imaginary distorted wings every day.

　The rich man is a villain, and to Selene, who is full of false prejudices that he carries out behind-the-scenes metamorphosis, when he imagines his future life, he trembled in disgust and thought of escaping. However, I could not help but run away, and I did not want to run away and sacrifice her sister. Selene's heart was exactly a calf that was sold to the market. If I had wings, I could go back to a nice prison.

　While Selene is caught up in an evil and self-loathing delusion, Milan and the bear bee, as well as the waitress who pulled the carriage, anxiously watch over the young princess with a melancholic look.

　Initially, the train that Selene boarded must be prioritized to the prince of Milan. However, after parting from Arue, Milan, along with the bee bear, go to the riding path, taking care of the sheep-eyed Selene who is sent to the slaughterhouse and slaughtered, so that she can rest alone.

"Prince who cares about gifts being robbed is also strange."

"The child is not used to people. Let it go."

　Despite being occupied by the carriage he was riding, Milan did not complain and led the carriage with the bear bees. Other than her sister, who was my only ally, an adult took me to a foreign country. I explained it before, but there is no reason not to be lonely. Milan wants to make this poor boy as happy as possible.

　However, hearing that a girl of Serene's age could move to the glittering metropolis of Helifalte Kingdom must have been anxious and joyful. But Selene was like a dead fish, lying on a train the whole time. For him, the world should be seen as a terrible thing that only hurts him. With that in mind, Milan wanted to curse the Queen, who had cornered her so much, if possible.

"But Queen Aquila turned out to be very easy to hand over. I'm grateful for this, but when I think of it as mother and child, it feels complicated."

"I'm sure you're laughing because you can throw the inventory in there."

　Milan remembered the negotiating seat. When the faces of the queens with disgusting smiles appeared in his mind, it made me feel uneasy. Arue is the only refresher agent with a complex look, but that won't help Selene much.

　When Milan asked to accept Selene, Queen Aquila had two conditions.

　One was to announce the fact that Selene was the only second daughter to the upper tier of Helifalte. You don't want to reveal the fact that the head of state is hiding the young second daughter, albeit with some problems. The other was that the Helifalte Kingdom bore all the tuition fees for studying abroad in the Helifalte Kingdom in Arue.

　The University in the Kingdom of Helifalte was a favorite place of intellectuals across the continent. Just saying that he registered there would put tin foil on it. People with social status in each country certainly want their children to go to school abroad. Of course, Aquila is one of them, but the country is also a small country. If you do it right, you can't get in even if you're standing upside down.

　There was an offer from the Prince of Milan to ask Selene directly. Queen Aquila claims Selene, who is usually intrusive, as the second princess, and treats her as a negotiating card. And instead of offering Selene, she asks for a recommendation from Arue's first daughter. You want to increase your favorite value-added, first princess. While saying that it should be treated as a second princess, it was said that Selene should not be announced as Aquila's daughter, so there was a contradiction. The contradiction is also big.

"'It's not so noble, but it's a rare talent. This is the place where you donate to the beloved Helifalte Kingdom, let your talents flourish, and hope this girl will help your country.'" ...... "

　The bee bear opened the parchment with the contract details from his chest, read it back, and rolled it back with furrowed brows.

"It's almost like an SMS scammer. Don't write down exactly where you come from and what talents you have."

“Well, as long as I've signed a contract to hand Selene over, no matter what my status is, I won't be able to deal with it anymore. And in connection with Princess Arue, I originally intended to call Selene. . , The hope of studying abroad can be said ship.”

"Of course, Arue alone could mess up as much as she could with the power of the prince, but if she did whatever she wanted, wouldn't her father be angry?"

"Of course you'll be angry, but if you don't have this privilege, can you be a prince?"

　Milan jokingly replied. Other than Arue, helping Serene only harmed Helifalte Kingdom. This was a princess with almost no commercial value. To be clear, you can think of it as a mess.

　However, Milan do not regret what he did. I have to report this to my father, and my behavior in other countries will be reprimanded, but maybe he will do the same if he is in his position.

"Sorry, by the way, I managed to save the daughter of the prisoner from prison. If the adults frowned, Selene would be scared. The prince is responsible for the rest. If you accept your father's Tekken, everything will be solved. Good yes, good yes"

"It's easy to think that it's someone else's business."

　Milan sighed with a bitter smile. Milan thought that he was self-employed because he behaved unreasonably in another country and asked for it from here. However, as Kumahachi said, Selene's capture was successful, and the fact that she was abandoned by the Queen has some positive aspects, depending on how you think about it. Princess Arue's tuition fee must be cut. "The exploitation of the money of Queen Aquila which can no longer be raised in this transaction" is "less than money" for Prince Helifalte. My father's anger is scarier than financial problems.

"Well, seriously, what should I do with Selene? I heard from Arue that he was a wise boy, but he was still a child. There's a chance it'll leak."

"For the time being, I will keep it in my hands until Princess Arue arrives, because it's more convenient."

"I'm here too, and I'm glad it's good."

　As the bear bee nodded, Milan continued.

"I'll get an education someday, but I'll live slowly for a while, because all she needs now is to take away her fear of the world."

"Let's do. You can do as much as you want later, like filling in knowledge, but if you fear the world at a time when you are sensitive, you will live while cursing your life."

　With that said, Kumahachi agreed with Milan's idea.

"For now, I'm thinking of making Selene Marie's playmate."

　The moment I heard that word, the face of the bear bee, which had confirmed the word Milan until then, was suddenly pulled.

"Well, isn't that my sister? I'm sorry to say that I'm sorry, but I think the girl's partner is a bit difficult for Selene, who has never been in contact with people ..."

"Selene will need a child's friend as well as an adult asylum. You can't let her meet another noble's daughter badly and reveal her origins. Marie is Selene at her own age. It's perfect for. And ... "

"Honestly, I don't know much about my sister. I used to admire "brother, brother", but recently I became so selfish? Maybe I was scared, so I thought if I proposed to Selene, it would be lightened a little."

"Did you mess it up because you received the Quiet Princess?"

"Well, that's a secondary thing."

"No, let's have another important goal."

　The bear whispered in a whisper to Milan's ear, grinning.

"I never dreamed that Saint Prince Milan was a childhood pastime. I was afraid that even if a beautiful woman would tease me, I was worried that I would poke her. But it was a little too young to use for a night out. Then "

"Don't say anything stupid"

　It is strange that Milan is really angry, and the bear bee laughs.

"But the prince, Princess I Night, was a beautiful girl who was not on this continent at this moment. How many flowers will bloom in five years and how many will bloom in five years?". The Night Princess was just a word to the girl. At that time, could the prince ignore him?"

"... I won't deny it."

　During such a conversation, the carriage led by Kumahachi and Milan arrived at the plain with a clear flow. This is a place that is often used for rest and camping on the road used by travelers. Milan and the others decided to rest here, unlike the others.

"Then, are you going to rest? Everyone asked for food preparation."

　When the bear bee issued the order to the other servants, the servants quickly took out the equipment from the carriage for cargo and prepared with familiar hands. Who collects firewood and who makes kamado. It's totally under control. The elites chosen by Milan were not only good at manners and martial arts, but were also able to handle tasks such as cooking without difficulty.

　The prince, Milan, did not do the job as expected, but the bear bee saw the job from a distance, and after making sure that there was no problem, he walked to the riverbank and sat down. I dropped it . After a short break, Kumahachi suddenly caught a white girl crawling out of the train-Selene, who was supposed to be sick the whole time.

　Selene wore a milky white Gothic dress with long sleeves and frills, and a brilliant clean white hat with a large fringe that looked like a pure white body. It looks like a fairy tale princess, but not only beautiful. Strengthened with magical powers to protect Selene whose skin becomes red and swollen if exposed to strong sunlight for a long time. These were jewels made by Milan as Aquila craftsmen made especially during negotiations.

　According to Milan, "I made it in time because of the movement", but even though I only took one hat, I was able to buy several one-story houses in Aquila.

"Are you okay with the bear?"

"Hmm, oh? Sorry in Serene. What's up?"

"Bear, tired, go?"

　Kumahachi was impressed when he heard what Selene, who was walking around, suddenly spoke to him. I thought she was just lamenting her misfortune, but the girl saw her exhaustion in an instant.

"(What insights do you have when you're a girl who doesn't go to the end of the year?)"

　As Selene had said, in front of her subordinates, the bear bee was tired to some extent, despite not being exposed. Once you leave the city, it becomes an area that is no longer safe. Although it passed through a road that had been processed as a highway, it was an area of forest that did not open right next to it, and it was unknown when the hungry beast would come out. More than that, there is often a thief who targets tourists.

　The side of the carriage was decorated with golden eagles, which were the emblem of Helifalte, so even the field thieves were high-risk and not easy to attack, but that was uncertain.

　Kumahachi was a good friend of the Prince of Milan, but at the same time he was a master-slave relationship. If your master is in danger, you should take the initiative in the battle. It seemed like it slammed lightly, but while walking down the street, the bear bee focused its nerves like a sharpened blade.

"Is it okay to be next?"

"Oh, oh, I don't mind. Selene thought of me, that... What do you think?"

"What?"

　Calmly look at the bear bee with a stern look. It is also a surprise for the bear. He is a gentle man on the inside, but as you can see, the bear bees do not dress well as a compliment. With his bearded face and exotic style, a young child usually cries or runs away if he sees one. Compared to that, a girl like thin snow that melted to the touch seemed to have considerable courage regardless of her appearance.

"I'm sorry for the wind as you can see. I don't think Selene's scared, so I'm sorry?"

"Okay, bear, good guy"

　The bear bee was amazing to Selene, who answered naturally. There is no stigma that your inner side is excellent, but it is difficult for adults to even try to see the inner side rather than the outer side.

"Selene has a bold and flexible mind. It will definitely be an adult in the future. This bear bee guarantees it."

"thank you"

　Selene relaxed her pretty lips. You answered so briefly.

"(So.no wonder it's called heresy. If you have this quality at this age, stubborn people will try to kill you.)"

　Despite only a brief conversation, Kumahachi reaffirmed Milan's ideas. It was not this girl who could be trapped in a dreary and perishing prison. How talented is a woman if she is properly trained? The honest bear bee decides in her heart to provide as much help as she can.

　However, Selene did not see the inside of the bear bee. As Selene peeked out from the carriage, everyone had fun preparing for the camp, but only the bear bee sat alone in the distance, and after a while she turned around and went to the river. In other words, I think it's a hub.

　From the appearance of the bear bee, Selene decided that she was a "foreign worker who was mistreated and used at a low wage" based on her previous knowledge. He is taken as a companion to a demon prince named Milan, and is picked up by his friends.

　While still a student, Selene, who had always been left behind when forming a duet, could not let the bee bear stand alone. However, I know how difficult it is to talk to her, "Why are you alone, then let's cooperate with the teacher?" is.

　Above all else, Selene, who is an isolated and dirty old man, feels more intimate and comfortable when she is near the also isolated and dirty old man, Kumahachi, who is a, than any other athletic waitress who is refreshing. However, bear bees are not isolated and are not parents.

"Today the weather was good. I'm not much out, bear, I envy."

"... Did she?"

　Selene, which is a communicative disorder, does not have a very interesting story. I thought I would sit next to him and talk to the bees, but in the end I can only say the weather and he looks healthy.

　However, the bear bee that heard it did not catch it. This princess had been imprisoned for a long time and only knew the world of darkness. I wonder how beautiful this sky is to me. And I really wanted to teach the princess who was impressed with that sort of thing how vast and colorful this world was.

"Hmm, let's tell Serene about the world with this bear bee."

"DID?"

“Well, thank you for my bodyguard, Prince of Milan, who looks like this, it seems like I am quite familiar with this continent. I can do a lot of things.”

　The bear bee was ridiculous and said, taking an old map from her chest and spreading it over the grass.
